US 2026/0095207 A1 · COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR AUGMENTED HUMAN-OBJECT INTERACTION

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relates to a communication system for augmented human-object interaction. The communication system includes, a wearable device to transmit and receive electro-quasistatic signals (EQSs) carrying data with a receiving device. Further, a conducting medium carries the EQS signals to one or more surrounding objects using a human body communication network. One or more surrounding objects augmented with conductive parts to enable application-specific interaction with the wearable device. Furthermore, communication link established between wearable device and conductive parts is based on EQS Body Coupled Communication network. Communication link ensures non-radiative signal confinement around a human body and the conductive parts of the one or more surrounding objects. Receiving device receives the EQS signals from the wearable device via the conducting medium and the one or more surrounding objects.
